Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

@Goose8651 So, what did you get?

 

I typically use baseball glove oil or conditioner on leather sheaths, belts, even my work boots.

 

I use coconut oil every day but not sure I'd put it on the sheath leather. Do bears like it?
I watched a video from Wranglerstar and he suggested Obenhaufs beeswax. I bet bears like that too.

 

Gotcha. If you're trying to avoid any scent there's a method using boiling water, but you'd have to look that one up since I'm not familiar with the technique.

 

Below are knives from what I’ve collected that I tend to carry on a regular basis:


Left to right: Benchmade Mini Griptilian, Spyderco Chaparral, Ramon Chaves Ultramar Redencion, and Great Eastern Cutlary Viper #47. I must admit that I’ve carried a Benchmade as my daily for well over a decade before losing it, thus the mini grip gets preferred duty roughly 90% of the time. The Spyderco when I want some that is light and compact that still slices impeccably, the Chaves for when I’m in the mood for something robust, and the GEC for a more formal occasion.

While on duty I rotate between these two:


ESEE Izula, and Kershaw/Emerson CQB collaboration. Main point being: cheap, sturdy, and easy single handed retrieval.

 

Went and bought some of the exclusives.

Bought three of the bugout OD desert warrior exclusives (one for me and two coworkers)
Some small victorinox Bigfoot for stocking stuffers
MKM Isonzo artic fat carbon
MKM Burnley Arvenis exclusive
Olamic Rainmaker - this was my big purchase. Been saving up since I knew we were going. I have a whipper snapper from Olamic and it’s so smooth of action.

 

I drool over the Olamic knives every time I open one of their emails. I would get either the kinetic earth or entropic handle Rainmakers if I had the funds. Which one did you pick up?

 

I went by their office one day after work. Not really an office but anyway, they do a lot of their marketing and product shoots from there. Blades come from a couple of other locations. If it was on the table, I could touch it. All of them were fantastic.

 

I’m a collector and a full time maker, a cple I finished for a show last month. And yes my last name is really Sharp.

 

Very impressive work!

 

Beautiful knifes!
I hope one day I can be a full time maker!

 

Let me know if I can help

 

Got some new knives from KnifeCenter's holiday sales.

Two from Civivi, damascus Dogma and a button lock Elementum:





And two CJRBs, Crag and Scoria:

 

Made some Mules scales out of some Westinghouse micarta. They turned out really nice!

Also made a practice set of some thick Tengu scales for a custom order. Still need to make matching backspacer and finish sanding.

 

Love the micarta. Got a similar one on my CPK!

 

Man, the Knife/EDC community is amazing. I am so humbled by all the orders I took in after the Spyderco Magnacut Mule release last week. I’m going to busy for the next 4 weeks. Lol.

 

And this is how it all begins

 

Finally figured how to export a video to gif, so here are my Kershaw Autos, all picked up a couple years back at their factory sale.

 

I bought a couple of the last pic. Thing has some mad kick to it
One of the best box opener I got!
